Catalyzed by the extreme tragedy Japan, I set about finding out how to protect myself and my family from radiation. As the nuclear crisis has been unfolding, it became increasingly obvious that this information was vital to millions of residents of Japan – and to the rest of the world as well. Though some of the information in this blog may be disturbing, my purpose is not to scare anyone, but to empower individuals, families and communities to take responsibility for their own well being. I hope you will find this information useful.

The Japanese government continues to repeat the dishonest mantra that radiation exposures and contamination of food and water are below safe limits. However, the closer we look at the facts of the Fukushima nuclear accident, a very disturbing picture emerges. Individuals with geiger counters have discovered readings way above official numbers in places, such as this playground not far from Tokyo which had a reading well over 6 microseiverts per hour.

This is deeply concerning for the Japanese people, especially children who are more vulnerable to radiation poisoning. However, it is not only the Japanese that face this danger. Arnie Gunderson reports that radioactive ‘hot particles’ from Fukushima are being measured in Seattle at about half the rate as Tokyo. Radioactive material has been found in produce from California and milk from across much of the United States. We are assured by the FDA and EPA that it is all within safe limits, but the fact is that there is no safe limit for radiation – it is all damaging. We will not know the full extent of the damage from this disaster for decades – we are still learning from Chernobyl – but, in the meantime, there is plenty we can do to protect us ourselves from this very real and present danger.

Most of the suggestions to follow are worth doing regardless of nuclear accidents, as they are supportive of vibrant health in general. The current long emergency of nuclear contamination only makes this more important now than ever. I’m going to do a series of blog posts, each one covering different aspects of holistic radioprotection. Below is an index. Links will become active as I update. I’ll keep updating as I am able to research and process the info I come across. I hope that you find the information useful and that it supports you in living a long, healthy and spirited life!
